1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This is the Quarterly Progress Report No. 17 and it covers the project activities and progress for
the 2nd Quarter 2012 from April 1 to June 30, 2012.
Here is a summary of the progress of each subproject at end of Quarter 2, 2012:
1.1 Core Subprojects
Hospital Feeder Upgrade Stage 1 – Contractor was Bluebird Ah LAL JV

Project is complete.
Prepayment Meters – Contractor is A D Riley NZ Ltd





Total number of Prepayment meters installed by ADR up to end of June 2012 is 19,616;
1,384 left to complete ADR‟s contract. Total number of PPM to be installed in ADR‟s
contract is 21,000. Contract includes lowering of meters. Total of 3,845 meters have been
lowered so far.
There are 31,909 active meters at end of June; 22,932 Prepayment Meters and 8,977 still
on induction meters.
71.87% of total active meters are on Prepayment; this leaves 3.13% to achieve project
goal of having 75% of total number of active meters on Prepayment Meters.
ADR repaired 1,064 defective meters with blank screen; 786 are contract meters and 278
EPC installed meters. They replaced a component in defective meters. It was thought this
would solve the blank screen problem. But it didn‟t. EPC is very concern of the defect
and have pressured ADR for a solution. Worse is that customers continued to receive
power even if meters are blank screens. This is a loss to EPC of customers with this kind
defective meters will continue to receive free power.
Tests continued of an alternative prepayment meter from another supplier, Joy Electric
Ltd Company. Test is if meter can work with tokens from existing vending system
installed by A D Riley. If tests prove successful, this will give EPC another supplier of
these meters.
Consultancy Services





Implementation Consultant, Egis International, is continuing to complete Feasibility
Studies of 5 hydro schemes and tender documents of 3 of the 5 schemes.
PMU still has 2 individual consultants hired. Replacement of 3 rd individual consultant who
resigned was replaced with a local hired Distribution Engineer.
PMU to submit to ADB proposal for additional consultants required to complete project.
ADB approved to hire short term experts to assist with detailed commissioning of these
subprojects; Fiaga power plant, SCADA, and Fuluasou Substation.

Page 6 of 55
Upolu Generation
1.2.1 Tanugamanono Plant Noise and Emission Controls




No activity this Quarter.
May not need to do this subproject because new Board of Directors approved to relocate
all 4 base load generators from Tanugamanono power station to the new power station in
Fiaga.
New power station is built with only 3 generators to be relocated to Fiaga new power
station. To also relocate 4th generator would require major redesign and construction
work to accommodate the 4th generator.
Main critical reason for keeping one generator in Tanugamanono is for backup to the
main hospital and critical government facilities in middle of Apia, if transmission line from
Fiaga power station to Fuluasou Substation and Tanugamanono is down on a fault. Main
feeder which supplies power to main hospital and rest of critical facilities in Apia is
connected to Tanugamanono power station.

power transformers, cable racks and power cables. Also the 11kv switchgear circuit
breakers for the 3 generators are included in 11kV switchgear for entire power plant.
Work is done.
PMU started preparation of tender for relocation of 3 existing generators.
New Board of Director approved to relocate all 4 Mirrlees generators from
Tanugamanono to Fiaga. Design and construction of Fiaga power station did not allow for
the 4th generator to be relocated.
Original decision to keep the 4th generator (Unit No. 12) was critical to provide backup for
main hospital and Government critical office in Apia.
Hospital Feeder Stage 2 – by Bluebird Ah LAL JV



70% of construction is complete; worked stopped awaiting arrival of certain materials.
Vaults are installed and connectors inside vaults installed and cables terminated and
connected to connectors.

This 33kV transmission line connects the new Fiaga power plant to the new Fuluasou
Substation and continues to Tanugamanono power station. This line becomes the 33kV
backbone transmission line that links power stations to substation. There are two 33kV
circuits connecting Fiaga Power Plant to Fuluasou Substation; one underground and one
overhead. Reason is to improve reliability of transmission line during major cyclone or
earthquake. Line continued underground from Fuluasou Substation to Tanugamanono
power station.
Construction of 33kv overhead line started. Construction is done by EPC and supervised
by Distribution Engineer. EPC introduced use of pre-stressed concrete poles for this
important transmission line. EPC used to use wooden poles.
Underground 33kv cables will be run inside Golf Course to Substation. Samoa Land
Corporation approved to run underground cables inside the Golf Course fence.
Materials started to arrive. Cables are expected to arrive in September. Factory testing of
cable is scheduled on September.

ProCom Solar PV System Proposal





Received proposal from ProCom for installation of a 3.5MW Independent Power Producer
(IPP).
Cabinet approved for National Energy Coordinating Committee (NECC) to investigate
ProCom proposal whether it is needed by EPC.
EPC main concern of too much solar generation is the impact on system stability. Total
solar generation should not exceed 20% of EPC‟s noon peak. The 20% limit in solar
generation capacity is already maxed out with Samoa Solar Ltd‟s 3-4MW proposal. So
EPC cannot approval anymore solar PV system connected to EPC grid.
ProCom original offered a feed in tariff of 57 sene/kWh; later they raised to 65 sene/kWh.
EPC notified National Energy Committee that EPC cannot approve to connect any more
Solar System to grid. 20% limit of system noon peak has maxed out with Samoa Solar
Ltd installations.
Renewable Energy Systems Interconnection to EPC system


Draft Rules/ Regulations for interconnection agreement has been submitted to Power
Regulator and Attorney General for their review and comments. Received Regulator
comments.
Same with interconnection agreement also submitted to Regulator and AG.
Biodiesel

NECC approved to ask developer to provide a formal proposal on setting up bio diesel
plants in Samoa.
Expressional of Interest (EOI)

National Energy Coordinating Committee (NECC) of Government approved to issue EOI
for investment for development of renewable energy. EOI is for (i) development of

Implementation Progress
All implementation activities or tasks are reflected in measuring implementation progress
against the subprojects implementation schedules and referred to as “project progress”. All
pre-implementation activities or tasks are considered in calculating subproject implementation
progress. These activities or tasks include preparation of the Subproject Outline, Feasibility
Study, Rapid Environmental Assessment, Initial Environmental Examination, Screening for
Land Acquisition and Resettlement, Tender documents, Evaluation of tenders and preparation
of awards and contracts. Each task in the implementation schedule is weighted according to
its overall contribution (using time as a reference) to progress of subproject implementation.
These weights are used to calculate the percentage of subproject progress along the entire
time span of the project. This is to provide a holistic view of the pace on implementation. Due
to the magnitude of the Power Sector Expansion Project and the number of its subprojects, it
is not practical to list all the tasks or activities. Therefore only milestones are listed for the
purpose of simplicity of subprojects progress but more details can be obtained from the Project
Schedule Gantt Chart of each respective subproject. Refer to Appendix 2 for Project
Monitoring.
A. Core Subprojects:
1. Hospital Feeder Upgrading Project Stage 1
Project is complete.
2. Single and Three-Phase Prepayment Metering (PPM)
A total of 218 prepayment meters were installed during 2nd Quarter; 29 are new installations
and 189 conversions from induction to prepayment meters. This brought the total number of
meters installed under this contract at end of the 2nd Quarter is 19,722 or 93,91% of 21,000
meters to be converted under this Contract in AD Riley Contract.
Total number of active meters at end of 2nd Quarter is 31,909; made up of 22,932 prepayment
meters and 8,977 induction meters. This brings total percentage of customers with
prepayment meters to 71.87% or 3.13% short of target is 75%. Remaining meters to be
installed by A D Riley will bring total percentage to 75%. All new installations are installed with
prepayment meters.
Besides converting to PPMs, contractor also lowered the meters; 36 meters were lowered to
1.6 meters this 2nd Quarter bringing the total number of meters lowered to 3,715.
Most CRITICAL issue with this Contract of installing Prepayment meters is:

Blank screen defective meters is still unresolved. A D Riley has been replacing
defective meters under warranty. But main concern is that customers with blank screen
meters continue to receive power with topping up their meter with more credit resulting
in loss of revenue. ADR have not found a solution on this defect. EPC has written
strong letters to ADR related to issue. EPC will eventually claim from ADR its loss of
revenue due to blank screen meters.
EPC PMU
nd
2 QUARTER 2012 PROGRESS REPORT
Page 23 of 55
A D Riley had two technicians here in May to carry out repairs to 786 contract meters and 278
meters installed by EPC. These meters had blank screens. An electronic component was
replaced in all these defective meters. However, the repair didn‟t eliminate defect which
caused blank screens.
At end of this 2nd Quarter 2012, a total of 19,616 meters have installed by ADR under their
contract, leaving 1,384 meters remained to be installed to complete their contract.

Only 3,715 meters have been lowered so far by ADR. This is 19.38% of total number of
meters converted plus new ones ( or 19,171 at end of 4th Quarter) installed by A D Riley under
its present contract. So there are still about 81% of the meters to be lowered. Beside ADR‟s
subcontractor lowering meters as they convert them, EPC is lowering meters already
converted on request by consumers. All new meters are installed at 1.6 meters.

to install generators. Project Manager disapproved both claims.
Fiaga Access Road, Water Pipeline and Fence
Project is complete. The only outstanding item is approval by ADB and Government of Change
Order No 2 for supply of base course materials for construction of road. It is now approved and
official closure of project is now being processed.
Fiaga Pumped Water Source
Tender is prepared to pump water from Samoa Water Authority‟s water system to Fiaga power
plant. Bid is with ADB for approval. SWA system is 4 km away from the power plant and an
elevation climb of about 250 meters. Because of the high elevation of the power plant at 520
meters, it requires 4 booster pumps to pump water to the power plant. Sites of 4 pumps are
selected and a consultation with Samoa Land Corporation who owns the land and lessees is
underway.

This project is under construction. Construction by subcontractor, Fletcher Construction
continued and is progressing well. Building and civil work (road, drainage, transformer bunds,
etc) is 60% complete. Switchgear arrived and is being stored until moved into building.
Shipping delayed some of materials for construction.
One change order which reduces scope and adding some other items of contract has been
approved by ADB and Government. We took off replacing of 33kv tie substation in Lalomauga
hydro plant. PMU is preparing tender for construction of river bank protection rock rep rap; this
is not part of North Power‟s contract. Construction will be scheduled during dry season next

(vii). 22kV Overhead Conductor Upgrading Program
This project is under construction. Contractor, GMA Construction Ltd, continued with
construction. About 60% of work is completed and invoiced. This contractor submit a claim of
about SAT$1.1M for loss of revenue from September 2011 to February 2012 due to shortage
of materials according to them. Acting Project Manager disapproved this claim twice. Dispute
is now transferred to Adjudication Process. This is contractor who hired 17 linemen from EPC.
Linemen returned to EPC in July 2011. This greatly affected its work production because they
did not have qualified linemen and engineer to perform.
2. Savaii
a. Generation
(i) Hydropower Scheme
Savaii hydropower scheme is included under „Hydro Developments‟. One Savaii hydro
scheme is included. This is scheme in Faleata, Vailoa, Palauli. Sili Scheme is on hold.
Only activity this quarter is completion of Feasibility Study by Egis International,
Implementation Consultant.
b. Distribution
(i). Puapua-Asau 22kV Distribution Line Reconductoring

Only activity is testing of a prepayment meters from Joy Electric Ltd supplier if they work on
current vending system. Also getting ITRON manufactured meters to undergo same tests. If
successful, this will give EPC other suppliers to buy meters from.
(iii). Power System Planning Software
On-going updating of system as changes are completed.
(iv). Refurbishment of Salelologa Power Station
New power plant is built in Vaiaata, not Salelologa. Only substation and mini control centre is
located in Salelologa depot. ADB approved FS and Resettlement Plan. Due to deteriorating
conditions of existing electrical switchgear in Salelologa and long delay in completing Vaiaata
Power Plant, it was decided to separate bid for Salelologa new substation from Vaiaata Power
Plant bid. Tender for Salelologa Substation was prepared and submitted to ADB for final
review before issuing bid.
Resistivity study is carried out in Vaiaata site. Similar geotechnical study will be carried out.
(v). Refurbishment of Taelefaga and other power plants 22kV Switchgears

RISKS AND ISSUES
A. PMU Organization Structure
No further action is needed. PMU continued with present organization structure.
B. Staff Recruitment
Project Manager‟s position is vacant since middle of 2011; position and is being advertised
locally and internationally. A local TD engineer is hired. .
C. Prepayment Meters
Major issue is blank screen defective meters that is continuing to increase. Contractor is yet to
find a solution even though they are replacing defective meters as part of guarantee. But
EPC PMU
nd
2 QUARTER 2012 PROGRESS REPORT
Page 28 of 55
worse problem is customers with blank screen meters continuing to receive power without
topping up their meter.
D. Vending and Card System
There are no issues. Tests of prepayment meters from other suppliers if working on vending
system is on-going. Two new suppliers provide test samples.
E. Fiaga Power Plant Access Road, Pipeline and Fence
Only outstanding item was approval of final Change Order No 2, which was finally approved by
ADB and Government. Contract Agreement addendum is in process. Project is complete and
is being closed out.
F. Land transfer to EPC
Official transfer of 97 acres in Fiaga and 100 acres in Vaiaata for new power plants is still
outstanding. A third piece of land (5,059 square meters) in Tuanaimato for the Fuluasou
substation was approved by Minister of Environment to be used by EPC. Samoa Land
Corporation also approved lease of four 20m x 20m lots of access road to Fiaga Power Plant
to install booster water pumps.
G. Claims against EPC
There are two contractual claims against EPC. One is from GMA Construction Ltd with 22kV
overhead line reconductoring. Claim is for lost of revenue when work slowed down due to
shortage of materials. Total claims is SAT$1,126,076. Acting Project Manager disapproved
claim twice. Case is now refereed to Adjudication. Our counter arguments are: GMA did not
have qualified linemen since 17 EPC linemen returned to EPC; contract is for work completed;
some qualified is excessive; contractor delayed work from beginning as they were finding
some qualified linemen and engineer.
Second claim is from North Power NZ Ltd for extra cost associated with their contract of Fiaga
Power Plant Lot B. Extra cost is for additional storage charges due to delay in completion of
switchgear room in Lot A contract for construction of powerhouse. Second part of this claim is
extra cost for non accessing power plant during public holiday during Easter weekend.
Again, Acting Project Manager disapproved claims on ground they supposed to coordinate
work with power house contractor.

Appendix 5 – Prepayment Meter Installation Projection & Actuals
Project Target is to get 75% of consumers on Cash Power Meters at end of project in 2016.
19,616 meters have converted by A D Riley under their contract. At end of 2nd Quarter of 2012,
71.87% of active consumers have been converted or installed with prepayment meters. There
is 3.13% needed to meet target. About 1,384 meters are left to be installed under A D Riley‟s
contract. 75% will be reached with these meters. EPC is still testing a new meter from another
supplier, Joy Electric Ltd. Another supplier is sending test meters to be tested on A D Riley
vending system. If successful, this will give EPC new suppliers beside A D Riley. There has not
been any technical solution on blank screen defective meters. ADR is asked for a solution.
They have gone back to factory of CP meters. No word from them.
